PREFACE. 

In presenting this history and genealogy of the ancient 
and baronial family of Cuthbert of Castle Hill, Inverness, 
Scotland, who were styled "King Barons," from whom de- 
scend many in South Carolina and Georgia, the author feels 
that he has accomplished a work which will be a valuable 
contribution to future generations. 

Many thanks are due to Mr. and Mrs. George Whitfield 
Brown, of Washington, Mrs. Wm. Nathaniel Heyward, of 
Hardeeville, S. C, James Barnwell Heyward, Esq., from 
whose manuscript has been taken much invaluable data ; Rev. 
G. Sergnelay Cuthbert of St. John's Lodge, Clewer, Wind- 
sor, England ; Miss Eugenia J. Cuthbert, of the Philadelphia 
branch of the name, who descends from the great Mcintosh 
family of Scotland and Georgia, to the authors of the his- 
tories of South Carolina and Georgia, and also to other 
sources the author is much indebted. 

There seems no doubt that the family of the Honorable 
Seth John Cuthbert, of Georgia, whose two sons, Alfred 
Cuthbert, U. S. Senator, and John Cuthbert, Member of 
Congress, is related to the Cuthberts of Castle Hill, although 
there is no evidence to show that this branch are heirs of 
the line. The line of Dr. James Cuthbert, Jr., of Georgia, 
who was of the eldest branch, seems to have become extinct, 
and thus it would appear that Lucius Montrose Cuthbert, 
Esq., a distinguished lawyer and citizen of Denver, Colo- 
rado, is the apparent heir and Baron of Castle Hill. To 
this gentleman the author is especially indebted for much 
valuable information. 



This Work is Dedicated 

to 

Lucius Montrose Cuthbert, Esq., 

Mrs. George W. Brown, 

James Barnwell Hey ward, Esq., 

and to 

My Kinswoman, 

Miss Hilda Maud Paterson 

of

THE CUTHBERTS, 

BARONS OF CASTLE HILL.

The ancient and baronial family of Cuthbert, lords of 
Castle Hill and proprietors of Drakies, was one of the lead- 
ing families of Inverness, Scotland, and we find the Cuth- 
berts furnishing Provosts and Bailies of the Burgh, Town 
Clerks, Councillors, Aldermen and Commissioners to the 
town ; and among them we see Alexander, George, John and 
William Cuthbert, Provosts of Inverness, the highest posi- 
tion in the city, and among the Bailies, or Magistrates, Alex- 
ander, James, John and Thomas Cuthbert, and James, Town 
Clerk of Inverness; John Cuthbert, Councillor, and John 
Cuthbert, Alderman; and a John, Commissioner; and be- 
sides these were the Lords of the Auld Castle, and the 
barons of Castlehill, and the Lairds of Drakies; and St. 
Cuthbert was of this line, it is said. Besides the above we 
find George Cuthbert, one of the Commanders of the forces 
of the King at Harlaw; between Donald of the Isles and 
the Earl of Mar; a celebrated battle which decided as to 
whether the Lowlander or the Celt was to be the ruling 
power thereafter. 

It is quite interesting to see the long array of names of 
this family which was among the leading ones in the North 
of Scotland and in France, and who in the New World 
assisted in laying the foundation of this great country. 



*This is according to Burke, but the arms of the Barons of Castle Hill 
have certain quarterings as shown in illustration.

The following is a true and authentic account of the vari- 
ous positions held by this eminent line : 

Jean Baptiste Colbert, Minister of Finance and of the 
Navy, time of Louis XIV. He was Marquis o,f Seignelay 
and descended from the Cuthberts of Scotland, and had 
his pedigree attested to by the Scotch Parliament, General 
Lachlan Cuthbert of the French Army, Alexander Cuth- 
bert, known as Abbe Cuthbert in the French Church, Seigne- 
lay Cuthbert, Bishop of Rodez, in France and Grand 
Vicar of Toulouse, George Cuthbert, Officer of British 
Artillery at siege of Belle Isle, Brittany, John Cuthbert, 
Officer in English Army under General Wolfe, killed at 
Louisburg, 20th July, 1758, and George Cuthbert, Provost 
Marshall General of Jamaica. 

In South Carolina we find Captain William Cuthbert, 
Commander of the "Fortune Frigate," appointed one of 
the Judges to try pirates, and John Cuthbert who received 
a patent, granted for certain agricultural implements, and 
General John Alexander Cuthbert, Colonel James Cuth- 
bert, and Doctors Edward, James, Lucius and Thomas L. 
Cuthbert, and in Georgia, among the signers of the Creek 
treaty of 1739, as witnesses, George Cuthbert of Drakies, 
and John Cuthbert of Inverness, and further on we find 
John Cuthbert, Esq., of Drakies, planter. Captain of the 
Rangers, and among the signers of the District Congress 
of 1775, at Darien, Ga., Isaac and A. Daniel Cuthbert, John 
Cuthbert, member of Provincial Congress 1775, Captain 
Alexander Cuthbert of Continental line, Georgia Brigade, 
and Lieutenant Daniel Cuthbert of Georgia State Troops, 
and Honorable Major Seth John Cuthbert, Secretary and 
Member of Council of Safety, Acting Governor or President 
pro tempore of Executive Council, his grandsons. Honorable 
Alfred Cuthbert, U. S. Senator and John Cuthbert, Mem- 
ber of Congress, and in 1797 we have record of Drakies 
plantation on Savannah River and also find the town of 



Cuthbert in Georgia. The descendants of this famil}^ may 
well be proud of the long array of names of this ancient 
and noble line, who in both hemispheres have always been 
to the fore and have occupied positions of prominence in 
Church and State. This family descends in direct line from 
the Lords of Castlehill, the Lords Fraser, Lindsay, Erroll, 
Chrichton, Somei-ville, Glammis, Doune, Montgomery, and 
from the Duke of Albany, Robert the Bruce, and Edward 
III of England, and from the Stewarts, Earls of AthoU 
and of Lennox, Gordons, Earls of Huntly, Campbells, Earls 
of Argyll, Douglasses, Earls of Morton, Earls of Douglas, 
and Dukes of Touraine in France, Earls of Ross, Sinclairs, 
Earls of Orkney and Caithness, and the families of Baillie 
of Lammington, the Fentons, Rattrays, Ross of Balna- 
gown. Hay of Erroll, MacDonald of the Isles, Mcintosh 
and others, and in South Carolina and Georgia we find this 
prominent family connected and related to the old families 
of these States, such as Hazzard, Heyward, Barnwell, Mid- 
dleton. Fuller, Fraser, Stobo, Williamson, Guerard, Screven, 
Elliott, Prescott, Bacot and others ; and in Georgia, to Bryan, 
Clay, Noble Jones, Irvine, Bulloch, Graham, Bolton, Stirk, 
d'Antignac, Turpin and others, and thus we see this eminent 
family taking part in both worlds. 

We now give what is believed to be the correct descent 
of this family and follow it up by a copy of a copy of the 
history of the Cuthberts in Scotland, from one belonging to 
Hon. James Cuthbert, of Montreal, and attested to by the 
Lion King at Arms, and also the lines of descent in Ameri- 
ca taken from reliable sources. George Cuthbert of Castle 
Hill commanded the forces raised by the town of Inverness 
at the battle of Harlaw, 141 1, against the rebellious Donald, 
Lord of the Isles, whose standard he seized. 

He had John Cuthbert, who had William Cuthbert, of 
1478, whose great grandson George Cuthbert, Esq., of 1548, 
had John Cuthbert, Baron of Castle Hill of 1593, who had

of Drakies, and had :

THE GORDON FAMILY. 

The Gordons date back to the year 1093, to Adam de 
Gordon. His descendant. Sir Adam de Gordon, married 
Elizabeth Keith, daughter of Sir William de Keith, Great 
Marischal. His daughter, Elizabeth de Gordon, married 
Alexander, son of Sir William Seton, and had Sir Alex- 
ander de Seton, Lord of Gordon, created Earl of Huntly by

Earl of Huntly, who married Lady Elizabeth Hay, daughter 



13 

of the Earl of Erroll, and had Alexander, third Earl of 
Huntly, who married Lady Janet Stewart, daughter of John, 
Earl of Atholl, by Lady Margaret Douglas, only daughter 
of Archibald, fifth Earl of Douglas, and Duke of Touraine, 
who married Euphemia, daughter of Sir Patrick Graham 
and Countess Euphemia of Stratherne. The fifth Earl of 
Douglas was son of Archibald, fourth Earl and Duke of 
Touraine by Princess Margaret, daughter of Robert III. 

Alexander, third Earl of Huntly and Lady Janet Stew- 
art had John, Lord Gordon, who married Margaret, daugh- 
ter of King James IV, by Margaret, daughter of John, 
Lord Drummond, and had George, fourth Earl of Huntly, 
who married *Elizabeth, daughter of Robert, Lord Keith, 
sister of William, fourth Earl Marischal and had Elizabeth 
Gordon, who married John Stewart, fourth Earl of Atholl, 
and had Elizabeth Stewart, who married Hugh Eraser, 
seventh Lord and sixth of Lovat. 

ROYAL DESCENT. 

King James IV was son of King James III by Christian, 
daughter of Christian, King of Denmark, and King James 
III was son of King James II and Mar}% daughter of Ar- 
nold, Duke of Gueldres, and King James II was son of 
King James I, by Lady Joanna de Beaufort, daughter of 
John, Earl of Somerset, son of John, Duke of Lancaster, 
by Katharine Swynford, daughter Sir Payne Roelt, and 
John, Duke of Lancaster, was son of Edward III of Eng- 
land. So we see that the Cuthberts descend from the Royal 
Houses of Scotland and England many times. 

William Hay Bishop of Murray or Moray. 

William de Haya married Juliana de Soulis, niece of 
Ranulph de Soulis, Lord of Liddesdale, and had Wil- 
liam de Haya, ancestor of the Erroll family, who married 

♦Paul's Peerage says daughter of William, Earl Marischal. 



14 

Eva and had Sir David Haya, who married Helena, daugh- 
ter of Gilbert, Earl of Stratheme, and had Gilbert, who had 
Nicholas, who had Sir Gilbert Hay, constable of Scotland, 
who had Sir David Hay, who married a daughter of Sir 
John Keith, of Innerpefifer, and had Sir Thomas Hay, who 
married Elizabeth, daughter of King Robert H by Elizabeth 
More and had 

I. Sir William Hay, grandfather of Sir William 
Hay, first Earl of Erroll. 
H. Sir Gilbert Hay, ancestor of the Hays of Dron- 
law. Park, and Dalgety, and from this line 
William Hay, Bishop of Moray, has de- 
scended, whose daughter. Jean Hay, mar- 
ried John Cuthbert of Castle Hill. Thus we 
see the Cuthberts descend through Hay from 
noble lines, and from the Earls of Stratherne, 
the Keiths and from Royalty. 
"Right Rev. William Hay, D. D., of St. Andrews, of the 
family of Park, in Moray, was born February 17, 1647, 
died 1707, son of William Hay, A. M., master of the music 
school in old Aberdeen whom he succeeded about 1688. 
Was Minister of Perth and was consecrated Bishop of 
Moray, March 11, 1688, at St. Andrews. After he was de- 
posed, he returned to the house of his son-in-law, John 
Cuthbert, where he died May 17, 1707. He married Mary, 
daughter of John Wemyss, parson of Rothes." 

We thus see that the Cuthberts and their descendants, the 
Heywards, Guerards, Browns of Washington, Elliotts, Tres- 
cotts, Bacots, and others descend from the Royal Houses 
of Scotland and England, and from the Lords Eraser, 
Doune, Lindsays of Byres, Montgomerys, Crichtons, and 
from the Earls of Atholl, Huntly, Argyll, Lennox, Douglas, 
Orkney, the family of Keith, Earls Marischal, Graham 
of Mentieth, and others in direct line of descent, and thus 
we see that many of our southern families have the best 



15 

blood in their veins and easily prove their noble origin, 
for many of the cadets of very fine families settled in the 
South. 

The following is the line of descent of Jean Baptiste Col- 
bert, the celebrated minister of Louis XIV, as given by C. 
Fraser-Mclntosh in his Invernessiana. 

James Cuthbert married Lady Elizabeth Lyon of Glam- 
mis (descendant of Lord Glammis, son-in-law of Robert II) 
and had: George Cuthbert married Catharine Dunbar of 
Tarbat, and had James Cuthbert, who married Jean, daugh- 
ter of Fraser of Foyers, and had George Cuthbert, who 
married daughter of Hugh Rose, Baron of Kilravock. His 
grandson Edward married Mary Lindsay of Edzell and was 
the father of Jean Baptiste Colbert of 1686. 

(Lord Charles Edward Colbert, Marquis of Seignelay, 
and Secretary of State and Superintendent of His Majesty's 
affairs, and was also of this line of Cuthbert.) 



A Chronological Account 

of the 

Origin, Settlement, Armorial Bearing 
and Surname 

of the 

Illustrious Family of 
Cuthbert of Castle Hill 

Contracts and testimonials, under the hand and seal of 
the Lord Lyon, King of Amies in Scotland, of the illustrious 
extraction and descent of the honorable family of Castle 
Hill. 

This copy for the Hon. James Cuthbert of Berty, great- 
grandchild to the last John Cuthbert of Castle Hill, except 
one. 

A Chronological Account of the origin, settlement, armo- 
rial bearing and surname of the illustrious family of Cuth- 
bert of Castlehill, in the County of Inverness, Scotland; the 
aforesaid name vulgarly called Cubbert and Colbert, and in 
the Erse language Qubert. 

This illustrious family came originally from the County 
of the Northumbrians in the North of England, when it 
was about the year of Christ 700. Alfred reigned then in 
that country, which made one of the Kingdoms of the Hep- 
tarchy, and had lately embraced Christianity by the Bishop 
of Lindisfarne (afterwards called Holy Island) ; he was of 
the same stock and family, from which is descended the 
family of Castle Hill, as is sufficiently proved from the ancient 
protection granted on that account by the Kings of Scot- 
land to that illustrious family, from the surname and armorial 
bearing, and as has been acknowledged by an Act of Parlia- 
ment of Scotland in the year 1687. The Picts, a nation in 



17 

the neighborhood of the Northumbrians and who inhabited 
the south of Scotland, were, as yet, at that period (670) for 
the most part Pagans, and always at war with the Albanicks, 
who inhabited the west hills of Scotland, the latter had then 
embraced Christianity for some time. Alfred, a man of let- 
ters, as well as zealous for the propagation of the belief and 
law, wherein he had been newly instructed, and truly ani- 
mated with its spirit of charity, laid himself out ardently in 
procuring and cementing peace between these two nations, 
his neighbors, and the more that he had conceived a par- 
ticular esteem for the king of the Albanicks, Eugene the 
Fifth, his contemporary, who was likewise a man of letters 
and a Christian. Alfred gave commission to the Bishop of 
Lindisfarne, his subject, and the Institutor of Christianity, 
to negotiate this peace between them; he hoped thereby to 
see the religion, which he had newly embraced himself, 
more easily established among the Picts, as appears from 
the History of Scotland by Buchanan and others. The 
Holy Bishop laid himself out with the greatest wisdom 
and impartiality, to bring about this, and succeeded; he 
brought the natives to agree that they should never here- 
after attack each other with their whole forces, and that the 
King of the Picts should give his daughter in marriage to 
the King of the Albanick's eldest son, which was accordingly 
executed. By this alliance it happened that soon thereafter 
the rights of the Crown of the Albanicks, and the Picts, were 
united together in the person of Eugene the Eleventh, and 
the King of the Albinicks descended from this marriage; 
although these rights were not made effectual until King 
Kenneth's time in the year 854, however, the Albinicks, and 
the Picts, became afterwards one and the same nation, and 
were known by the name of Scots, as appears from all Scot- 
tish Historians. But Alfred, while he charitably procured 
peace between the nations his neighbors, he could not cover 
himself from the revolutions to which all crowns were more 



18 

particularly subjected in those times of ignorance, and con- 
fusion, he was chased out of his kingdom and obliged to 
take refuge with the King of the Picts, and by the death of 
the Bishop of Lindisfarne, the kindred of this worthy prel- 
late were obliged to quit his native country and to seek 
refuge abroad. Abercromby, a modern Scotch historian, 
says this Bishop in aftertimes was honored as a saint; he 
left his family to go to preach the Gospel to the Northum- 
brians. 

Bede, a contemporary with the Bishop, imagines him to be 
of the country of the Northumbrians ; the Bishop's kindred, 
who were distinguished in those ancient times by no other 
name than that of George, which one of the family had re- 
ceived in baptism, or on his embracing Christianity, he came 
to ask protection and refuge from the King of the Albinicks, 
whose residence was frequently at Inverness, who was full 
of gratitude for peace which the Bishop of Lindisfarne had 
negotiated with so much dexterity and uprightness, betwixt 
his grandfather and the King of the Picts, received them 
with kindness, until such time as he could give them employ- 
ment in his service or otherwise provide for them. These 
marks of his royal goodness, though not yet accompanied 
with a solid establishment having acquired to them the high- 
est consideration in the town of Inverness, they did from 
that time fix their abode there in order to be near to offer 
their service, and show their attachment to the King. They 
had the good fortune to distinguish themselves in those 
early times in the troops which the town of Inverness was 
bound to send to the field for the King's service ; as a recom- 
pense for their valor and signalized exploits in that station 
he obtained them, together with the freedom of the Bur- 
gesses, the rights of the lands of Droggie, or Drakies in 
Vassalage, or feu holding thereof which they still possess. 
Their influence in the King's Court, and in the town of In- 
verness, engaged thereafter, the Baron of Dacies in the 



19 

neighborhood to give them in vassalage the lands of Muck- 
ovy to be held of him which they likewise still possess. It 
was not till long thereafter that they obtained from the 
King in recompense of their constant and distinguished ser- 
vices, the lands that compose the Barony of Castle Hill, 
which they got as a royal holding, or feu, with a fortified cas- 
tle, under the burthen of, or subject to military service. These 
events which regard their first settlement of Inverness are 
presumed from the proofs of the high antiquity of this 
family, to have happened about the year 950, a short time 
after King Kenneth, by his birthright, as well as conquest, 
had united the Kingdom of the Picts to that of the Albinicks. 
Such is the tradition of the family of Castle Hill, about the 
origin of its first illustration, and its settlement in Scotland ; 
the principle of facts which are set down by the best his- 
torians, such as Bede, Fordam, Bore, Buchanan, etc. The 
dates of the first concessions of the lands of the Drakies, 
and Muckovy, as w^ell as of the lands of Castle Hill, are now 
unknown, the primitive titles having been destroyed during 
the invasion of Scotland by King Edward the First of Eng- 
land, and in the wars of the great families in the country 
among themselves. The use of the Public Registrar in or- 
der to supply copies of this kind was introduced in very late 
ages. This royal feu in all the charters, both ancient and 
modern, is designed ''Auld," otherwise Old Castle Hill, the 
castle upon it was most probably the ancient habitation of 
the Kings of the Albinicks at Inverness ; but since the union 
of the Kingdoms of the Albinicks and Picts, King Duncan, 
as it is said, caused to be built a new castle, on a rising 
ground in the middle of the town, which commands it, and 
it is likewise called Castle Hill, but it is in ruins now ; it had 
been repaired and fortified about the year 1730, but Prince 
Charles Edward (Pretender's son), in the year 1746, blew 
up the castle with the fortifications. This illustrious family 
in possession through a great many ages of the lands of 



20 

Castle Hill, as likewise of that of Muckovy, holding of the 
Baron of Dacies, and of the lands of Drakies, holding of 
the town of Inverness, near which is their residence, was 
known and distinguished in those ancient times, and in the 
newest or earliest of Christianity in that country only by the 
usual name of baptism of the head of the family, which was 
George, upon that account the head of this family, like the 
chieftains of other illustrious families in the Highlands of 
Scotland who have their particular patronymic baptismal 
name, continues always to be known and distinguished in 
the Highland Scottish language which is still at this day 
vulgar in all the country of Inverness, where the Barony of 
Castle Hill is situated, by the patronymic surname of Mc- 
George, without any other denomination, such surnames be- 
ing the only ones used in the Highlands till the eleventh 
century, patronymic surnames as they were first given, so 
they were commonly the most durable in the great Highland 
families; others given on account of some quality of the 
mind, of the heart, or of the body, as well as those drawn 
from their place of residence, were more subject of being 
altered as being personal. The family of Castle Hill has sur- 
names of all these different kinds, excepting from the qual- 
ities of the body, and it is the ancient possession and trans- 
mission of the different surnames according to the different 
ages wherein they shone and distinguished themselves, 
wherein the natural customs likewise underwent changes, 
and it was usual to get surnames of these differ- 
ent kinds that constitute the surest proof of their 
illustrious existence having been distinguished by the 
invasion of Edward the First, and in the intestine 
wars of the kingdom, which it may be said is the case with 
most of the other illustrious Highland families, it was rela- 
tively to the primitive illustration of this family at the same 
time of the introduction of armorial bearings amongst the 
gentry of Europe, they took for theirs, *'a Quevie in pate," 



21 

azure, armes gules in a field Or, as being the most expres- 
sive symbol of their wisdom and uprightness, in the negotia- 
tion of the peace which acquired to them in their first and 
great illustration, they took for crest a naked hand, holding 
a branch of olive, and for motto 'Terit and Recte." In 
consequence of this same illustration, and of the above armo- 
rial bearing, when surnames other than patronymic were 
introduced, and became fixed in the 12th century, this family 
got in the Highland Scottish language, the vulgar name 
about Inverness where they had long before settled, the sur- 
names of Qubert or Quibert, besides that of McGeorge, 
which the chief carried over since the family became Chris- 
tians, insomuch that at this very day all the descendants of 
this family are not called otherwise than Quivert in the 
Highland or Erse language, either from the corruption of 
the word Quevre, which in heraldry signifies ''Serpent," 
which they had taken for their armes, or from the word 
Con, which in the Erse signifies word wisdom, which sig- 
nifies holy, virtuous, and Bart or Vart, which signifies rich, 
that is to say rich or holy wisdom, to perpetuate the remem- 
brance and tradition of their origin and settlement. It was 
after the union of the Highlands and Albanick nation, and 
the Picts under the same king, and under the common name 
of Scots, and after the Picts language had prevailed over 
the Albanick, and became the language of the court, and the 
assembly of the States and of the Parliament, that this family 
got in the Picts language the surname of Cuthbert or Cud- 
bert, which as Camden explain in his work called Brittanicus, 
or the Antiquities of Britain (wrote about the year 1600, 
under Queen Elizabeth) signifies illustrious for skill and 
happens equally as Quibert, in the Erse language, to be rela- 
tive to the primitive of Castle Hill, and to the armorial bear- 
ing, was granted to them to perpetuate the erudition, there- 
fore, the word ''Cuth" signifies ''Skill," and "Bert" illustri- 
ous, which name the Bishop of Lindisfarne got in the same 
language, probably on that account. In those distant times. 



22 

it was very common to translate surnames from one lan- 
guage into another, and even more recently, especially when 
they were significant, and the languages original, otherwise 
when no surname, any had signification, or when it was not 
attended to by the vulgar, as is often the case, people did 
commonly add, or cut off a letter at the end of a name, trans- 
fer or substitute one letter for another in the middle, as in 
Stuart, Douglas, Sinclair, etc., without going further, in 
Cuthbert itself given to this family in the Pictish language, 
for although it was there significant, or relative to the first 
illustration, and written according to the etymology, yet it 
ever was in speaking the public languages pronounced at 
Inverness Cobbert, because of the difficulty and harshness 
which the natives of that town find in articulating the dif- 
ferent consonants that compose it, and the natives of Edin- 
burgh, for the like reason, as likewise the French who an- 
ciently resorted thither, softened it yet more, and pronounced 
it as if written Colbert or Cubbert, which the armorial bear- 
ing of the family (in Latin, Coluber) led them yet more 
easily to do, especially about the beginning of the 13th cen- 
tury, when Armes became fixed, and the Latin was uni- 
versally familiar over Europe, hence it happened that the 
descendants of this family, that are anciently settled about 
Edinburgh and Tranent, as well as those of them that went 
over to France, have allowed their names to be written ac- 
cording to this last pronunciation, and continue still to do so, 
which the ancestors of their respective branches were at first 
in all probability, led to do, from their not knowing in 
those times either to read or write, though of illustrious 
extraction. From these various circumstances it has hap- 
pened that the Sto itself of the family, though constantly 
designed in all their charters by the Pictish denomination of 
**Cuthbert" only, has ever continued to be known and called 
in the vulgar pronunciation by several different surnames, 
above mentioned, which do always vary ; to this day the 



23 

language and idiom which at the same time these different 
denominations, have never ceased to be looked on as synony- 
mous, and the same as equally and only belonging to this 
family, and have been acknowledged and declared such by 
an act of Parliament of Scotland in the year 1607, asserting 
the descent of John Baptist Colbert, Marquis of Seignelay, 
from this illustrious family, by Edward Colbert, son thereof, 
who went to France with Mary Lindsay of Edzet (or Edget) 
his spouse, about the year 1200, accompanying Christina de 
Baliol, niece of King Alexander the Third, when this prin- 
cess went there to marry Eugert de Guines, Lord of Courcy, 
when having lived there some time and left issue the said 
Edward died at Rheims and was buried there. This identity 
of the various surnames had been likewise certified by the 
present Magistrates, 4th of November, 1769, in favor of 
Lachlan Alexander and Seignelay Colbert, called in the Al- 
banic or Erse Language "Cuthbert." All the younger chil- 
dren of this illustrious family immediately descended from 
the Barons of Castlehill, and now settled there several years 
in France. The Barony of Castle Hill is contiguous to the 
town of Inverness insomuch that some houses built upon its 
demesnes, do form a suburb of the town, where the Baron 
of Castle Hill had his bailie to administer justice. This 
barony is bounded on the north by the town of Inverness, and 
the sea, and extends with Drakies and Muckovy, the other 
lands of the family, to the east and south as far as the lands 
of the Earl of Murray, on the River of Nairn, and to the 
Estate of Culloden, famous for the battle fought there in the 
year 1746. The family of the "Cuthberts" while possessed 
from male to male of the lands of Drakies, and Muckovy, 
and Castle Hill from remote ages, did at the same time fill the 
most distinguished offices in the State, such as that of High 
Sheriffs of the Counties of Inverness and Ross, whereof they 
did always acquit themselves with honor, and the strictest 
faithfulness, as likewise of the trust of Knight of the Shire, 



24 

they had likewise been founders of a chapel in Inverness, 
which they dedicated to Saint Cuthbert, but was destroyed 
at the introduction of Calvinism, the family has always pre- 
served its right of burying in the ground whereon the chapel 
was built, the foundation of this church appears by the fam- 
ily, from Dr. George McKenzie on the life of Saint Cuthbert, 
Vol. I, page 367. It was in consideration of the great 
valor and high exploits which the head of this family showed 
at the Battle of Harlaw in the year 141 1 in support of 
James the Second, against McDonald, Lord of the Isles, 
whose standard he took at the battle, when as Chief Vassal 
of the town of Inverness by his lands of Draky, he led into 
the field the troops of that town, the King then granted to 
George Cuthbert, chief of the name, as a recompense for 
this signalized service, and a particular mark of distinction, 
"a fess gules in a field d'or," additional to the *'quevre 
azure," the former armorial bearing of the family, which 
they afterwards bore in chief, and that this Prince ordered 
him to take for a crest a hand in a gauntlet holding an 
arrow, and for motto, "Nee minus fortiter" (or ininus). 
There is likewise added to the above achievement, two wild 
horses for supporters, whereof the vouchers are in the ar- 
chives of the College of Heralds in Scotland. The family 
of the Cuthberts after the destruction of their more ancient 
charters by the English under Edward the First, and after- 
wards by other accidents, was in the habit, as other families 
in that county of making a resignation of their fees into 
the hands of the King, and of their other superiors in order 
to obtain new charters, confirmative of their possessions, but 
their ancient charters, even of this King, particularly of their 
lands of Drakies and Muckovy whereof no public records 
were made as holding only a particular superiors more lately 
taken from them or destroyed during the hostilities betwixt 
the great families of the country, but chiefly by the McDon- 
alds, when the Lord of the Isles rose in arms to maintain the 



25 

right of the country of Ross. This lord treated in the same 
manner the town of Inverness, and the most of the great fam- 
ilies, about it, by destroying their charters, registers, writ- 
ings, and by laying waste all the country. The reformers of 
religion some time thereafter destroyed with the churches all 
the church writings that could any way have supplied losses, 
so that the most ancient charter that this family now possesses 
are that of the lands of Auld Castle Hill, granted to William 
Cuthbert by King James the Third in the year 1478, and 
that of Queen Mary for the same lands in the year 1548, 
granted to George Cuthbert, nephew and heir apparent of 
John Cuthbert of Auld Castle Hill and to his heirs male, they 
have likewise other titles at different periods after these 
charters, and since the erection of the Barony of King James 
the Sixth, which consists chiefly in a charter of confirmation 
from King Charles the First, dated the ist of August, 1625, 
and in consecutive instruments of the said Lands, the head 
of the family of Castle Hill so anciently proprietor of this 
estate, of that of Drakies or Dreggie, and of that of Muck- 
ovy, though by the nature of his fee of Castle Hill he held 
immediately of the crown, was nevertheless not created 
Baron of the States of the Kingdom, till James the Sixth 
conferred that honor on him, and his heirs male, or assignees 
bearing the name and arms of Cuthbert, as appears from the 
charter of creation, which is dated on the 19th of August, 
1592, vesting him with that quality, and with all sorts of 
jurisdiction thereto belonging, with the rights likewise of 
sitting on the assembly of the States of the Kingdom, where- 
in as well as in the Parliament, the destination of the House 
of Lords and House of Commons never existed, as in the 
Parliament of England, and now in that of Great Britain, 
and things always remained on that footing in Scotland un- 
til the union of the Parliaments of both Kingdoms in the 
year 1707, under the reign of Queen Anne, of which late 
charters and seizins that have escaped destruction, beginning 



of that granted in the year 1478 to William, son of John, the 
grandson of George, who distinguished himself at the Battle 
of Harlaw. 

Alexander Cuthbert, hereafter mentioned, has presented, 
with the preceding memorial in an uninterrupted series au- 
thentical copies of the Lord Lyon, in order to prove as far 
back as evidence of this kind (on account of the above unfor- 
tunate circumstances) can be traced, the ancient and illus- 
trious existence of the family of Castle Hill, and to obtain 
from his lordship a certificate thereof in the legal and due 
form, also a testimonial of the destruction of the more 
ancient writings of the family from the above mentioned 
circumstances, and likewise a certificate of armorial bearings 
of the said family as is recorded in the Lyon office, and of 
the various synonymous appellations of the surnames thereof 
in this Kingdom, so as to ascertain and make known beyond 
all doubt, the illustrious extraction and descent of the male 
children and grandchildren of the late John Cuthbert, Baron 
of Castle Hill, and of the late Jane Hay Heiress Dalkerthy, 
his spouse, of the late George, their eldest son. Baron of Cas- 
tle Hill, who espoused Mary Mcintosh of Holm, and left by 
her four sons, viz. : James settled in Georgia, in North 
America; Seignelay in France; Lewis and George in Ja- 
maica; Lachland, their second son (who espoused Mary 
Margaret Harford of Sufton), and dies lately in France, 
where he was major-general, having by his said spouse a son 
named Alexander Roger, and a daughter, their third son 
Alexander who is naturalized in France, and commonly lived 
there, their fourth son James married and settled in Caro- 
lina; there was presented with the preceding memorial by 
the above mentioned Alexander, third lawful son of the said 
John Cuthbert, and of the said Jane Hay, his spouse, a copy 
duly authentic of the charter granted by King James the 
Third, dated 23d of July, 1478, of the lands of Auld Castle 
Hill, to William Cuthbert, son of John and grandson of

against the king's enemies, and obtained at that time a per- 
petual monumental thereof a "fess gules" addition to the 
quivre in pale, the ancient arm of his family, a copy likewise 
authentic of the charter, upon resignation of the said lands 
of Auld Castle Hill, the grandson of the above William, and 
in favor of his heirs male a copy also duly authentic of a 
charter under the great seal of the kingdom, uniting and 
erecting all the lands belonging to the family of Castle Hill, 
that were held of the King into a free Barony in favor of 
John Cuthbert, son and heir of the last mentioned George, 
and to his heirs male, or assignees, they bearing the name and 
arms of Cuthbert. This charter bears the date of the 19th of 
August, 1 592, service and retour William Cuthbert, Baron of 
Castle Hill, as heir to his father, the last named John, dated 
14th of July, 1624, an authentic copy of a charter confirma-

in his contract of marriage with Mary, his spouse, (laughter 
of James Mcintosh, of Holme, Esq., and lastly certificates of 
the baptism of the children of the last mentioned John and 
George, Barons of Castle Hill, with many other rights pro- 
duced in process, all which prove the state and existence of 
their children and grandchildren as above set forth. 

We, John Campbell Hook, of Bankeston, Esq., Lord 
Lyon, King of Arms, do hereby certify and make known the 
facts mentioned in the above memorial, presented to us relat- 
ing to the ancient, illustrious, armorial bearing, and surname 
of the said illustrious family of Castle Hill, conformable to 
the general history of this Kingdom to vouchers lodged in 
the Lyon office, to public notes, writ that the illustrious ex- 
traction, and descent of the Honorable John Cuthbert, late 
Baron of Castle Hill, and of the Honorable Jane Hay of Dal- 
kethy, his spouse, and their descendants, as above vouchers 
and rights to us presented, that illustrious existence of the 
said family of Castle Hill, any higher than the above battle, 
proceeding truly as is the case of many other 
ancient and illustrious families of this Kingdom from 
the general destruction of ancient monuments and 
writings at the time of the invasion of this King- 
dom by King Edward First of England, from the de- 
vastation afterwards in the country of Inverness by 
McDonald, Lord of the Isles, from the more late destruc- 
tion of ancient monuments at the time of the Reformation, 
and from the long want of public registers for charters and 
seizins of this Kingdom, that the armorial bearing as above 
described, and supported on account of the erection of Cas- 
tle Hill into a Barony, and long usage as are allowed and 
recorded, in the public registers of the Lyon office, that the 
variation of the surname of the said family, according to the 
variation of the language and idiom as above set down is 
no less public by known Kingdoms than already solemnly 
acknowledged, and certified by an act of the second session 



29 

of the first Parliament of the late King James the Eleventh, 
and that George Cuthbert of Castle Hill (son of John 
Browne of Castle Hill, and his spouse, or daughter of Cuth- 
bert of Drakies, the last mentioned John's father was married 
to Magdalene, daughter of Sir James Frazer of Brea (third 
son of Simon the seventh Lord Lovat) and Barbara his 
spouse, daughter of David Wyms Fingask, a younger son of 
the family of the East of Wyms, and that William Hay of 
Dalkethy, Bishop of Murray, the above Jane Hay lawfully 
descended in the direct male line from the family of the 
Earl of Errol, who are hereditary Lord High Constables of 
Scotland, and by his mother, Dorothea Bruce of Pitharty 
(?) from the ancient Islands of "Anunadel" (or Arrunna- 
del) and Carrick, was married to Mary, the daughter of 
Robert Wyms, Baron of Castle Hill, a lad of the family of 
Wyms, and of his spouse Mary Sharpe, a daughter of the 
Baron of Houston, all of them ancient and illustrious fami- 
lies of this Kingdom. 

In testimony thereof these presents are subscribed by Rob- 
ert Boswell, Esquire, Deputy, and our seal office is appended 
hereunto at Edinburg, the first day of August, 1771. 

This copy was taken from one in the possession of the 
Honorable James Cuthbert, one of the Council of Quebec, 
who says that though our arms are not alike, yet one as 
properly belongs to him as another, he being of the family 
of Castle Hill, and we are that of the Drakies. 

John Cuthbert, 
of Cork. 

London, Gloucester Place, August 25, 1803. 

My Dear Sir : 

I met some weeks ago in this town a gentleman from 
America, whose name is M. Wright. He spoke of South 
Carolina and Charlestown and also of several of the inhab- 
itants of that country. I asked him if he had any knowl- 



30 

edge of a family of the name of Cuthhert. He told me he 
was perfectly acquainted with some gentlemen of that name 
both in Carolina and in Georgia, but more particularly with 
Major Cuthbert, and offered politely any services he could 
render me with my Relations in that part of the world. I 
begg'd of him to be so good as to be the bearer of a letter 
from me to Major Cuthbert, which he willingly promised 
he would. 

You and I, Sir, are very nearly connected, we are de- 
scended from the same blood, and altho' we have not yet 
had any personal knowledge of one another, I presumed, 
however, that a grandson of the family of Castle Hill would 
not receive with indifference a call from a son of that fam- 
ily. Sir, the Cuthherts of Castle Hill have occupied that 
Barony in the shire of Inverness, in North Britain during a 
great many centuries and constantly appeared as worthy and 
honorable gentlemen, well connected and ally'd to the best 
families in the Kingdom. I omit here a long succession of 
ancestors and shall mention our line since John of Castle 
Hill, your and my grandfather. He had male issue four 
sons, viz, George, Lachlan, Alexander and James, all born 
of Jane Hay, only daughter of to the Right Revd. H. Hay, 
Episcopal Bishop of Murray in Scotland. George, the eld- 
est of the four sons, succeeded his Father in the Lands and 
Estate of Castle Hill and died in the year 1748. Lachlan and 
Alexr., the 2d and 3d sons, went to France and died, the 
eldest in 1770, a general officer in the French King's ser- 
vice, the younger a minister of the Gallican church wherein 
he possessed several good livings. He died in 1782. The 
two sons of J. Cuthbert of Castle Hill were invited over to 
France by the family of Colbert, which were the offspring 
of the famous Maj. Colbert, Minister to Lewis XIV and 
one of the greatest men that ever appeared under any reign. 
He traced his origin up the Cuthberts of Castle Hill ; several 
monuments in France seem to ascertain the truth of this 



31 

descendance. In Scotland it has been attested by a family 
tradition, by the identity of the arms bearing of both the 
Scotch and the French families. By the resemblance also 
of the two names, and finally by an act of the Scotch Par- 
liament in the reign of King James the 2d of England, and 
7th of Scotland, from whence a long genealogy was sent to 
the Colberts of France ; the act of Parlt. is to be seen in the 
Register's office at Edinburgh. The fourth of John of Cas- 
tle Hill's sons was James Cuthhert, who went to South Caro- 
lina where he resided first in Edisto, I believe, and next in 
an island called Beaufort; was twice married and, I heard, 
has had a numerous family, of which M. Wright tells me, 
Sir, that you are a distinguished member. Geors^e, the eld- 
est son of John of Castle Hill, and who succeeded his father 
in the Scotch Estate, married Mary Macintosh, of a good 
family of that name, and left by her a numerous issue, both 
sons and daughters. His eldest son, John, was next mar- 
ried ; he died in the field of honor, having been slain at the 
landing and siege of Louisbourg, where he was distinguished 
as a most promising officer by the great General Wolf. The 
next to John was James, who went to Carolina and fix'd in 
Georgia. His offspring is the eldest and first branch of the 
family of Castle Hill. George of Castle Hill's third son is 
Seignelay, who in his early years was called to France by 
his uncles, entered into the Ecclesiastical state, was for sev- 
eral years Grand Vicar of Toulouse, from whence he was 
prefer'd in 1781 to the Bishoprick of Rodez, one of the first 
sees in that Kingdom among the Bishopricks. He enjoyed 
this high station until the year 1792, when the French Revo- 
lution dispersed the Gallican Church and banished from the 
Kingdom every Bishop who refused to perjure themselves 
by dishonourable and disgraceful oaths ; Seignelay Cuthbert, 
Bishop of Rodez, has remained steady to his principles of 
loyalty and of religion and was on this account involved 
with many others in the general Proscription. He sought 



32 

shelter in England and an asylum in his brother's house, 
Lezms's, the fourth son of George of Castle Hill. It is from 
Lewis's house and since his death, which happened on the 
29th day of October, 1802, that I, Seignelay B., o,f Rodez, 
write to you. Sir, in order to give you a more adequate 
knowledge of the present state of your relatives in the vari- 
ous parts of the globe, than you probably can obtain from 
any other quarter. Lewis Cuthbert went early to the Island 
of Jamaica, where after a various fortune he died much and 
justly lamented. The fifth son of George of Castle Hill was 
Lachlan, a young very promising officer in the British Ar- 
tillery. He went out of the School of IVoolish to be em- 
ployed in the British army at the seige of Belle-Isle on the 
coast of Brittany. The landing of the troops was difficult 
and very hazardous. Young Cuthbert with two pieces of 
cannon he commanded, was one of the first that took 
ground; he was so active, spirited and useful in protecting 
the rest, that he was mentioned in the general orders and 
publickly thanked for his gallant behaviour. He was then 
in the i6th year of his age. This brave youth did not enjoy 
during a great number of years the honor he had acquired ; 
he died in his 21st year, of a lingering distemper in France, 
where he came in the hopes of recovering his health. The 
last son of the same family was George, a posthumous child 
and born two months after his Father's death. When he 
had received his first education he went over to Jamaica, 
where he became a highly distinguished character, in the 
office of Provost-Marshal-General of the Island of Jamaica. 
Such has been the lot of my Father's and your uncle's Fam- 
ily. 

George of Castle Hill died, leaving his estate very much 
incumbered and his children in very distressed circumstances. 
Nor were there any probable hopes of keeping the ancient 
inheritance in the family, if Alex. Cuthbert, our uncle, known 
under the name of Abbe Colbert, had not interfered and 



33 

rescued a part of the Paternal property from the creditor's 
hands. But this good man died and no will was found 
among his papers, nor dispositions of his known. He left 
debts and the Castle Hill Estate, which he had rescued by 
arrangements with the creditors, continued to be the object 
of a great number of demands. In these circumstances, 
George Cuthhert, his father's youngest son, then in Jamaica, 
came forth and by acquiring with money, from those that 
had preferable claims on the Abbe's succession, their right in 
his landed property in Scotland, became the proprietor of 
the Castle Hill Estate. But he was hardly in possession of it, 
when he died in Jamaica, without issue. He left consider- 
able debts and his Brother Lewis acquired from his succes- 
sion the Castle Hill Estate and retained it until the day of his 
death. Lewis left a Will, in which he orders that his prop- 
erty in whatsoever it may consist, shall be equally divided 
between his five children, two sons and three daug;-hters. 
This disposition and the actual impossibility in any ope of 
the children to acquire the ancient inheritance of our ances- 
tors, makes it of absolute necessity to put it in sale. M. 
Abraham Robbarts, left Executor of my Brother's will, has 
already taken every step, preliminary to this end ; and I pre- 
sume the Estate divided in six or seven lots will be disposed 
of in this manner about the month of November or Decem- 
ber next. The lands of Castle Hill are ''affirmed" about 900 
L. But by new leases the income may ''easily" be increased 
to 1,200 L. annual revenue, as the price of land in Scotland* 
at present is very high, it is believed that the price of the 
lands of Castle Hill may amount to a sum equal to near 
forty thousand pounds. My brother Lewis has left debts to 
a considerable amount. He died in Jamaica, but his widow, 
a son and three daughters unmarried are in England. His 
eldest son is in Jamaica, where he thrives by his good con- 
duct and industry, he has bought a considerable property 



34 

in that Island, and I hope that this may turn out a very 
important and profitable acquisition. This is a sketch of 
what concerns George Cuthbert of Castle Hill and his de- 
scendants; I am his only remaining son. John was killed 
at the siege of Louisbourg ; James died in Georgia, and has 
left issue of which I can give no account. Lewis and George 
died in Jamaica and Lachlan in France, where he had come 
for the recovery of his health. John, our Grandfather's 
second son Lachlan, who died at Calais a general officer in 
the King of France's service. He left a son, who is estab- 
lished and lives on his estate near that place. The third, or 
Abbe, died in 1782, and left no issue, nor a will in favor of 
any of his relations. I have mentioned the circumstances 
about his property in Scotland. The fourth son was Dr. 
James Cuthbert, your "Father" (/ think L. C), Sir, and my 
Uncle. 

I wish you and all my relations in North America all hap- 
piness, health and prosperity ; and I eagerly desire to know 
something more than I do about them. I shall acknowledge 
every favor you will bestow in that respect and beg you to 
mention the name of Bishop of Rodez to every one of his 
cousins and nephews and nieces when you shall see them. 

I have written you this long letter, which I hope will ap- 
pear to you worthy of some interest. If you answer me in 
the satisfactory manner I wish, I shall look upon myself as 
under real obligations to you, and I have the honour to re- 
main, My dear Sir, your most humble servant and affection- 
ate cousin, 

Seignelay Cuthbert, 

Bishop of Rodes. 

My direction in London is Sommerset Street, Portman 
Square, No. 2^^, to be "recommended" to Mr. Groynn, Lon- 
don. 

1 have omitted in this account the female part of John

allow me to add any new details.

TURPIN. 

Arms: Gules, on a bend argent , three lions' heads erased, sable. 

Note. — The old manner of spelling the name of this ancient family 
was Turpyne. 

The progenitor of the Virginia branch of the Turpins was Richard 
Turpin. Esq., who was appointed a Herald by Henry VHI in 1564. 
He was descended from a family of Calais, France, and was at the 
siege of that city. He died on October 17, 1581. The first ancestor who 
went to America was Miles Turpin, who settled in Barbadoes. 

The following is taken from the Church Register of St. Georges : 
"Miles, ye son of Miles Turpin, baptized April 6, 1678; Wm., ye son 
of Miles Turpin, bap. Sept. 15, 1679. 

TALMAN. 

Capt. Wm. Henry Talman, of ancient family, came to America 1750 

in one of his own ships and landed at City Point, James River,. Prince 

Georges County, Va. He married Ann Elizabeth Ballard. Their son, 

William Talman, married Elizabeth Hewlett, of New Kent County, 



46 

and had among others a daughter, Hannah Talman, who married 

Turpin, and their son, WilHam Henry Turpin, married Miss 

d'Antignac, of the noble family of that name, whose ancestor went 
from France to America and fought in Revokitionary War. 

BALLARD. 

This old family entitled to bear arms descends from William Bal- 
lard and Elizabeth, his wife, who went to Virginia in the Ship Jamaica 
in May, 1635. The first of this ancient name of whom we read was 
William Ballard, Esq., son of Thomas Ballard and Miss Walch. He 
was a Herald time of Edward IV, but when Richard ascended the 
throne he was deposed, but later reinstated by Henry VH. The son 
of William Ballard and Elizabeth, above, was Hon. Thomas Ballard 
of the first council in Virginia, and his descendant, Elizabeth Ballard, 
married Capt. Wm. Henry Talman. 

DU BOSK 

Isaac du Bose left France in 1685 with his wife and family, sailing 
from Dieppe, in Normandy, and landed in Charleston, South Carolina. 
From John, the eldest of the six sons, descended Isaac Du Bose, who 
married Sarah, daughter of his uncle, Peter Du Bose. Their daughter, 
Hannah Du Bose, married Charles Jean Louis Babtiste d'Antignac. 

The memorial of the Chevalier d'Antignac will be found on a sub- 
sequent page, showing him to be of a noble family. His daughter mar- 
ried Wm. Henry Turpin, whose daughter, Julia Elizabeth Turpin, mar- 
ried James Hazzard Cuthbert, D. D. 

The following arms are ascribed to the Du Bose family: 

Bose du, en Normandie, D' argent a la bande de gueles. 

Bose du, en Normandie, D'hermine a trois fasces outre de gueles au 
Chrevron d'or hrochant se le tout. 

Du Bose, written also Bose du, de Radepont De gueles a la Croix 
d'Argent et de sable de trois traits Contonnee de quatre lions d'or 



lampasses d'azur. 

BRUEN. 

The ancient and honorable family of Bruen were related and con- 
nected to many of the gentle families of England and were descended 
for many generations from a family who in their own name, place, 

house and state occupied a position of standing. Bruen, Esq., 

of Bruen Stapleford, married first a sister of Sir John Done of the 
house of Utkinton, but had no issue by her, when he married second 
the daughter of Thomas Holford, of Holford, Esq., and Miss Dut- 
ton, of Dutton, and had among others an elder son John Bruen, who 
was born in the county of Chester, and was then heir to the house 



47 

of Bruen Stapleford. This gentleman was one of the most notable, 
worthy and pious men in his county and accomplished much good. 
"His house was none other than the house of God, and for religion 
he carried the topsail of all England," says the famous Mr. Perkins, 
and to this testimony may be added that of the Right Rev. Father 
in God the Lord Primate of all Ireland, who in speaking of Mr. 
Bruen says : "In his was the very beauty of Holiness, and he was of so 
amiable and cheerful a countenance that when I beheld him I was 
reminded of Moses, whose face shone, as honoring some more than 
ordinary eminency of grace of heart." In his life is exemplified the 
character of one to whom too much honor can not be paid and his 
descendants should revere and cherish this magnificent specimen of a 
Christian gentleman. 

John Bruen, Esq., married first, 1580, the daughter of Mr. Hard- 
ware, who had been twice chosen Mayor of Chester. He married, 
second, Mrs. Anne Fox, whose father had filled the place of Comp- 
troller to the Earl of Derby when Ambassador from the Queen of 
France, and her mother descended from the families of Adderton 
and Lelands, of Lancashire. Mr. Bruen again married, the third time, 
Margaret, and had a son and daughter. He was buried January 25, 
1625. 

From these marriages a number of children appear to have been 
born, of whom were Obediah and Mary, who appear among the New 
England Pilgrims. Obediah Bruen became a prominent man in the 
colony and was seven times Deputy to the General Court, Clerk of 
County Court from Gloucester, Clerk County Court Pequoit Harbor, 
and one of the founders of Newark, N. J. We see that this prominent 
citizen was descended from the ancient and worthy family of Bruen, of 
Bruen Stapleford and from the Holfords, of Holford, and the Duttons 
of Dutton, and that the family were connected to the Hardwares of 
Peile and that it occupied one of the first positions of prominence and 
was one of the leading families of the country. Obadiah Bruen had 
among others John Bruen, great grandfather of Rev. Obadiah Bruen 
Brown, of Washington, grandfather of George Whitfield Brown. 

Reference: Life of John Brown, Esq., by Samuel Hinde and by Rev. 
Wm. Hinde Fellow, of Queen's College, Oxford; Wm. Coddington, of 
Chester, and preface by A. M. Bruen. 

BROWN. 

George Whitfield Brown, Esq., a prominent citizen of Washing- 
ton, D. C, is the son of William Van Horn Brown, Esq., and Adelaide 
Harrington, and grandson of the late Obadiah Bruen Brown, who was 
born in 1780, in Newark, N. J., of a family who early came to America. 
The Browns were descended from the ancient family of Bruen who were 
allied to many of the gentry of Great Britain such as Sir John Done, 



48 

the Holfords, of Holford, the Hardwares, the Duttons, of Dutton, and 
others. Not only in England did this old manorial family stand high, 
but in America we find that Obadiah, son of the great John Bruen, 
early arrived as one of the New England Pilgrims and was first 
entered as a freeman of Plymouth Colony in 1640, and afterwards went 
to Gloucester, and before 1650 was chosen seven times Deputy to the 
General Court, one of the important and honorable offices in the 
colony. He removed to Pequoit Harbor, New London, and there was 
chosen townsman for fifteen years in succession, also Clerk or Re- 
corder of the town, the whole time, and in 1661 upon the organiza- 
tion of the court was chosen clerk of that body. In the charter of 
Connecticut granted by Charles H, his name appears as one of the 
patentees of the colony, which is proof that he was considered its 
most prominent inhabitant. In 1667 he removed with his son John 
in company with an association of planters to the Passaic River, where 
he founded what is now known as the city of Newark, first called 
Milford. Thus we see that the Browns of Washington have a most 
honorable descent from the early settlers of America. Rev. Obadiah 
Bruen Brown married Mrs. Jackson, nee Reilly. 

To the Honorable the Delegates from the States of America in Con- 
gress assembled: 

The Memorial of the Chevalier d'Antignac Humbly Sheweth : 

That your Memorialist takes the liberty of offering his services 
for raising a regiment of light horse. No military person is ignorant 
of the utility of such troops, either for a coup de main, for obtaining 
intelligence or for surprising an enemy, in short an army unprovided 
of such troops must be exposed to many hazards and inconveniences. 

The knowledge I have in this part of the service induces me to 
make the following proposal to the Hon'le Congress & if they will 
place so much confidence in me I flatter myself my conduct will be 
approved of. Should it be agreeable to the Hon. Congress to raise 
a regiment of light horse I will undertake to teach the men to 
ride, exercise & perform all the necessary evolutions in three months. 
Or should a regiment not be approved of at present I will undertake 
to do the same with a company of fifty men, flattering myself the 
Congress will honour me with the rank of Colonel. 

I have had the honour of serving in the King of France's first com- 
pany of Musketeers & it is well known that the King frequently 
grants regiments to those Musketeers who can afford the expence, 
as that corps consists of the first nobility, but my circumstances did not 
permit me to arrive at that honor, as supporting the rank of a Colonel 
in France is attended with a heavy expence, but he can supply what 
is requisite in this country. 

It is not from an interested motive that your Memorialist is come 
into America but (sic) from a principle of honor & regard for 



49 

liberty, therefore does not desire any pay till he has proved himself 
worthy the esteem of the Hon'le Congress, but will serve the campaign 
at his own expence, rank being all he is ambitious of. 

All which is humbly submitted to the consideration of the Hon'le 
Congress. 

Chambaron, d'Antignac. 

(Endorsed.) October i6, 1776. The Memorial of the Chevalier 
d'Antignac. Read 16 Oct., 1776. Referred to the Board of war. 
To the Honorable the President & others the Members of the Con- 
gress of the United States of America. 

The Memorial of Lewis John Baptist Chambaron d'Antignac, most 
respectfully sheweth : 

That your Memorialist having served eleven years in the corps of 
the First Troops of Musketeers, belonging to his most Christian 
Majesty's Household, presented to you his Vouchers in the month 
of October last, whereupon your Honorable House referred him to his 
Excellency General Washington. 

That your Memorialist, having laboured during the whole winter, 
under a severe Fit of Sickness, joined the Northern Army after his 
recovery in the month of March last, that he received at Albany a 
Captain's commission from General Gates & immediately proceeded 
to Ticonderoga, where he continued till the retreat of the Northern 
Army, with which he lost his Baggage; and that he trusts the Officers 
who served there, will do him Justice, & particularly for his Conduct at 
Skecnsborough. 

* That being sensible he could be more useful to the United States, 
where he employed in the Dragoons, which is the service in which 
he has been trained from his youth, he hopes the Losses he has sus- 
tained, ■& the Enormous Expence he has been at, since his arrival, with- 
out being entitled to any pay, will determine you to grant him his re- 
quest & promote him to a Higher Rank. 

And your Memorialist will ever pray.

GEORGIA CUTHBERTS. 

There seems to have been quite a number of Cuthberts 
in Georgia, and as many of these people came from Inver- 
ness with the Mcintosh's, they must have all belonged to the 
families of Drakies and of Castle Hill. 

We find as early as 1740 a John Cuthbert in the Darien, 
Georgia, settlement, and also A. Daniel Cuthbert and Isaac 
Cuthbert, members of the District Congress of Darien, 1775, 
and in 1739 among those witnesses who signed the Creek 
Treaty ceding land to colony find John Cuthbert of Drakies 
and George Cuthbert of Inverness. 

Also Captain John Cuthbert of Drakies who was a planter 
in Georgia and Captain of the Rangers, as also James Cuth- 
bert, son of George Cuthbert, of Castle Hill, who married 
Mary Mcintosh. 

His sister Anne married first Hon. Patrick Graham, sur- 
geon. President of the Colony of Georgia, who died, when 
she afterward married Hon. James Bulloch, his third or 
fourth wife. No issue appears to have been of this mar- 

*Jean Francois de Genillat, mentioned July 14, 1687, as desirous of 
locating in Carolina. Hist. Coll. of S. C. 



69 

riage unless Christiana Bulloch who married the Honorable 
Henry Yonge was of this union, and not of Stobo marriage, 
as was her brother, Hon. Archibald Bulloch. 

We also find the Hon. Seth John Cuthbert, Secretary of 
the Council of Safety, Acting Governor of Georgia, and 
President pro tempore of the Executive Council and mem- 
ber of Provincial Congress. 

He married Mary, daughter of Hon. Joseph Clay, and 
had two children : 

I. Alfred Cuthbert, U. S. Senator, married 
Sarah, daughter of Dr. George Jones, U. S. 
Senator, and had: 
i. Alfred Cuthbert married Anna Davis, 
n. Hon. John Cuthbert, member of Congress, 
married Louisa Eugenia Croft. 
Note— The Civil Officers in Georgia were before the appointment 
of the Royal Governors Patrick Graham, President, James Habersham, 
Noble Jones, Pickermg Robinson and Francis Harris, as Assistant 
Presidents. There were also members of the Council when a Royal 
ijovernor was appomted. 

Mary Clay, daughter of Hon. Joseph Clay and Ann Le- 
gardiere, was married, February 14th, 1785, to Hon. Seth 
John Cuthbert, Secretary of the Council of Safety, member 
of the Provincial Congress, 1775, member of Executive 
Council and chosen President pro tern., Saturday, July 24th, 
1779, of the Supreme Executive Council of Georgia. 

There were two families of Cuthbert who went to Geor- 
gia— "Cuthbert of Drakies, Scotland," and Cuthbert of 
Castle Hill, near Inverness, and Hon. Seth John must have 
been one of these. Mary Clay and the Hon. Seth John 
Cuthbert had two sons: 

I. Alfred Cuthbert, married Sarah Jones. 
n. John A. Cuthbert, married Louisa Eugenia 
Croft, and had: 

1. Joseph Cuthbert.

daughter of Dr. George Jones, U. S. Senator, who married 
Mary Gibbons, February ist, 1783, daughter of the eminent 
patriot, Hon. William Gibbons, descended from an officer in 
Cromwell's army. Dr. George Jones was a son of Dr. 
Noble Wymberley Jones, one of the Morning Stars of Lib- 
erty, son of Hon. Noble Jones, of Lambeth County, Surrey, 
England, and Miss Wymberly. (?) Drakies plantation in 
Georgia was owned by George Cuthbert, 1797. 

Hon. Wm. Gibbons was one of the foremost patriots of 
1776. Dr. George Jones married, second, Mrs. Mary Gib- 
bons; and third, Eliza Smith, and had George Wymberly 
Jones De Renne.

2. Mary C. Cuthbert. 

Alfred Cuthbert and Ella Shebbard had :

CUTHBERT OF CASTLE HILL AND OF 
DRAKIES. 

In a treaty with the Creek Indians, made in Georgia in 
1739, and Gen. Oglethorpe, as witnesses occur among oth- 
ers: John Cuthbert of Drakies, and George Cuthbert of 
Inverness. 

George Cuthbert, commander of the forces from Inver- 
ness in the battle of Harlaw, against Donald of the Isles, 
had John Cuthbert, 1478, who had William Cuthbert of 
1458, who had John John Cuthbert of 1593, who had George 
Cuthbert, 161 1, who had John Cuthbert, who had William 
Cuthbert, who married Janet McKenzie, and had: John 
Cuthbert, who married Mary, daughter of George 
Cuthbert, of Drakies, and had: George Cuthbert, who 



62 

married Magdalen, daughter of Sir James Fraser, of 
Brae. From Cuthbert, of Castle Hill, descend a branch of 
Heyward, Guerard, Roach, Barnwell and others. A George 
Cuthbert owned Drakie's plantation, on Savannah River, in 
1797. Now we see that John Cuthbert, of Drakies, and 
George Cuthbert, of Inverness, were in Georgia in 1739, 
and a John Cuthbert and a Seth John, members of Provin- 
cial Congress of 1775; so the Hon. Seth John Cuthbert of 
Georgia must descend from either John of Drakies or 
George of Inverness, or from Castle Hill. The Cuthberts 
of Castle Hill, in Georgia, represent the family, so says 
Rev. Seignelay Cuthbert, of Scotland.

THE CUTHBERTS OF BERTHIER. 

No family in Canada has a more interesting history than 
that of the Cuthberts of Berthier. 

The first of that name who came to Canada. James Ciith- 
bert. was the great gjandson of John Cuthbert. Baron of 
Castle Hill, in the language of the Lyon King of Arms, 
"chief of that ancient suniame." His father was* John 
Cuthbert. of Inveniess. and his mother Beatrice, the daugh- 
ter of David Cuthbert. of Andresier. 

These Cuthberts of Castlehill were descended from 
George Cuthbert. who in 141 1 commanded the forces raised 
by the town of Inverness at the Battle of Harlaw against 
the rebellious Donald. Lord of the Isles, and whose stand- 
ard George Cuthbert seized. 

This bearer of the name of Cuthbert was the representa- 
tive of an ancient Saxon family in the Kingdom of North- 
umberland. This territor\' at one time embraced not only 
the present county of this name, but also York, Lancaster, 
Durham. Cumberland, and Westmoreland, — the tract north 
of the Humber. It is asserted that the Cuthberts were the 
English relatives of the most famous saint of the North, 
the prior of the earlier Melrose and Bishop of Lindisfame, 
St. Cuthbert, who died in 687. and whose bones at length 
found a resting place in Durham Cathedral. Anterior to 
this the family are said to have come from Tuteland. 

The battle of Harlaw was one of the most obstinately 
contested in the early annals of Great Britain. The Earl of 
Mar commanded the Roval forces, and such was the car- 



♦His father was Alexander. 



67 

nage that Buchanan says there perished in this conflict more 
illustrious men than had fallen in foreign wars during many 
previous years. The ground was obstinately contested on 
both sides; neither was eventually victorious. 

For the conspicuous valour shown by the Cuthberts in 
this engagement, to the serpent azure their shields displayed 
that day was then added a fesse gules as a perpetual monu- 
ment to their honour. The fesse is now different, but the 
sliding azure serpent is still borne. 

James Cuthbert served in early life in the navy. He was 
lieutenant in Admiral Vernon's flagship in 1740, at the siege 
of Carthagena, and carried home the news of the taking 
of the forts. 

He also transferred his sword to the sister service, and 
we find him in command of one of the independent com- 
panies at Inverness, the Highland watch. The town pre- 
sented him with a piece of plate in recognition of special 
services. 

James Cuthbert then served with that very gallant regi- 
ment which commenced to gather its laurels as the 43d, 
and has ever since continued the harvest under every sky 
as the 42 — "the Forty-twa." 

We find him in 1758 with the 15th, or Amherst's regi- 
ment. England was at this time protecting her posses- 
sions in different parts of the globe, and carrying on an 
aggressive war on the French in Canada, and the 15th 
regiment was employed at Louisbourg. Here Cuthbert took 
part in the capture of the American Dunkirk. 

The following year he served in the same regiment in the 
memorable campaign under Wolfe on the St. Lawrence, 
which terminated in the Battle of the Plains. 

No one can read without emotion the notice of the sail- 
ing of the last ship of the fleet from the St. Lawrence for 
England — after the taking of Quebec. Wolfe's body was 
being borne to his resting-place among his kindred. Mont- 



calm's earthly remains were in the keeping of the Sisters of 
St. Ursula, in their picturesque chapel. They lay in a sol- 
dier's grave, made by a shell of his adversary. Murray and 
his little army were left in the midst of a strange land. 
Hundreds of miles of snow on every side separated them 
from the nearest friendly post. The brave and accomplished 
Levis, burning to retrieve the defeat of the Plains, was pre- 
paring to retake the city. He was a foe in every respect 
worthy of Murray's resources. He was at home, his forces 
accustomed to the climate, and he was kept advised of every 
movement the English made by friends in and around the 
walls of Quebec. Fortunately the greatest unanimity exist- 
ed among the garrison. The spring found Levis besieging 
the city. 

Anxious eyes were directed across the basin towards the 
island of Orleans. It was a question which fleet would arrive 
soonest. For had the French succor appeared first, with 
besiegers on the plains and a hostile armament in the 
river, Murray would have been placed in a trying position. 
That winter and spring he buried a thousand men of his 
garrison. 

Captain Cuthbert was A.D.C. to the general, shared the 
anxiety of that first winter, and carried to England his 
despatches. 

Quebec was relieved, Montreal capitulated, and Canada 
became a British dependency. Captain Cuthbert remained 
with General Murray during his stay in Canada. 

Lieutenant-Governor Guy Carleton was appointed on the 
24th September, 1766, and on the 28th November of that 
year we find Captain Cuthbert a member of the Legislative 
Council. 

Captain Cuthbert had resolved to make Canada his home, 
and left the army. 

On the 7th March, 1765, by notarial deed, executed at 
the city of Montreal, before Simonet and Panet, notaries. 



69 

in the house of John Fraser, Esq., Judge of the Court of 
Common Pleas, the Honourable Captain Cuthbert acquired 
from Sieur Pierre Noel Courthiau Bourgeois, then resident 
at Bayonne, in France, represented by his brother, the seig- 
niory of Berthier, a tract of land of about fifteen miles front 
by about twenty-one miles in depth, on the north shore of 
the river St. Lawrence, nearly opposite the mouth of the 
Richelieu. 

This seigniory was principally held under two titles, one 
of the 27th August, 1674, from Count Frontenac to Captain 
Alexandre Berthier, and the other 31st December, 1732, 
from the Marquis de Beauharnois and Hoequart, intendent 
to Sieur Pierre I'Etage. 

Captain Cuthbert paid a considerable sum for the prop 
erty by draft on George Ross, Esq., of London, payable on 
the ratification by the absentee vendor of certain formalities 
connected with the sale. 

Captain Berthier was a distinguished officer of the famous 
Carignan Salieres Regiment. He had seen service in Europe. 
His name, like that of many of his brother officers, is pre- 
served in the counties 0|f this province. He was born in 
1638 in the diocese of Perigueuse, in France, and came to 
this country with his regiment. He was a Huguenot, but 
changed his religion for that of the Roman Catholic at 
Quebec in 1665 in the presence of Monseigneur de Laval, 
of de Tracy, de Courcelles and Talon. 

After the regiment was disbanded he married, at Quebec, 
on the nth October, 1672, Miss Marie Le Gardeur, daugh- 
ter of Charles Le Gardeur de Tilly and Genevieve Jucher- 
eau. There were present at the wedding, among others, 
Pierre Saurel, Jacques de Chambly, Jean Juchereau de la 
Ferte and Nicholas Dupont. The first-named of these gen- 
tlemen was not only a brother officer, but a brother-in-law, 
having married Miss Catherine Le Gardeur. In the imme- 
diate future they were neighbours on the river St. Law- 



TO 

rence. Berthier was at this time thirty-four years of age 
and his bride twenty-one. 

Less than three weeks after Captain Berthier's marriage 
he received another seigniory in the county of Bellechasse 
of two leagues square. 

To any one acquainted with the old noblesse the above 
names recall many memories. Some of the connections 
are still known to us. 

Captain Berthier was living in Canada in 1708. It is 
presumed he returned to France, as his burial is not re- 
corded in this country. After certain mutations the seig- 
niory passed into the hands of this Pierre Noel Courthiau. 

On the 24th January, 1778, John Hooke Campbell, of 
Baugeston, Lyon King Oif Arms, at the request of Captain 
James Cuthbert, certified that the following Ensigns ar- 
morial were matriculated in the public registers of the Lyon 
office as belonging to him ; "or, on a fess azure, three Fra- 
siers, Argent-in-Chief, a serpent gliding in Pale of the 
second, armed and langued Gules. Above the shield is 
placed an Helmet befitting his Degree, with a Mantling 
Gules, the doubling Argent. On a wreath of his liveries 
is set for Crest an armed dexter Arm issuing out of the 
Wreath in Pale, holding an Arrow, both Proper, and in an 
Escroll, above the crest is this motto — Fortiter" ; and certi- 
fied he was the eleventh in descent from the George Cuth- 
bert who commanded the Inverness forces at Harlaw and 
had seized the standard of the Lord of the Isles, and that 
this George Cuthbert represented the ancient Saxon North- 
umbrian family. 

Captain Cuthbert settled on his seigniory, and began to 
instil among the new subjects of His Majesty sentiments of 
loyalty and attachment to the crown of England. 

The minds of the French Canadians were disturbed by 
the different views advanced for their government, which 
assumed a definite shape in the Quebec Act. The American 



71 

Revolution quickly followed. The revolted colonies made 
direct overtures to the Canadians to join them, and much 
anxiety was experienced by the Government. 

On the invasion of the Province by the Americans, 
Berthier and its neighbourhood became the theatre, not only 
of differences in political sentiments, but of military opera- 
tions. 

Here not only was the judgment and firmness of Captain 
Cuthbert of great value in suppressing insurrectionary 
movements, but his military experience was again called into 
requisition. The Americans were in possession of Sorel. 
They proposed to surprise and capture seven heavily laden 
ordnance transports which were in the river. Cuthbert vis- 
ited their camp and acquired information of this intention. 
He thereupon crossed during the night in a bark canoe, with 
muffled paddles, to the headquarters of General Simon Fra- 
zer at Three Rivers, informed him of the enemy's design, 
and, on his advice, the British advance post at Point du Lac 
was reinforced and the transports ordered to fall down the 
river to Cap Madelaine. They were thus saved. 

A masked battery was also erected on the shore at Point 
du Lac, by means of which the American flotilla, convey- 
ing their army at night from the River Nicolet, where they 
had secretly collected, was so warmly received on nearing 
the shore that they were entirely defeated and their boats 
destroyed. 

The American General at Sorel being informed of this 
service of Captain Cuthbert, sent a detachment of troops to 
Berthier, seized the person of the seignieur, burnt the Manor 
House, took possession of his mills, and destroyed property 
to the value of several thousand pounds. Cuthbert was sent 
a prisoner in irons to Albany. 

The British Government never indemnified the family for 
this loss. 

While himself a devoted member of the Reformed 



72 

Church, he appears to have left to his sons rather the choice 
of their reHgious behef than to have expected them neces- 
sarily to have followed his. He sent them to be educated 
at the Roman Catholic college at Donai, in Flanders. It 
is unnecessary to recall the fact that many of the Highland 
families were Roman Catholics. 

To Captaki Cuthbert belongs the honour of having built 
the first Protestant place of worship in New France, and 
the first bell whose notes echoed through the forests of this 
province calling its hearers to a service according to the 
faith of the Reformers, was in the belfry of this church. 

It was primarily intended for and principally used as a 
family chapel. 

Most appropriately the gallant Highlander, whose ances- 
tors had fought on so many Scottish battle fields, dedicated 
this church to the patron saint of his native land, and the 
first Protestant Church in Canada received the name of the 
apostle who first followed his Lord and Master, St. An- 
drew. The services were at first conducted in the Presby- 
terian form by a Scotch clergyman, who was a member of 
Captain Cuthbert's family, and was tutor to his children. A 
few years later the Anglican clergyman at Sorel would come 
over, and officiated for the family of the seigneur and 
such other Protestants as were then to be found at Berthier. 

It is not easy at this distance of time to say when the 
services were discontinued in St. Andrew's Church, but in 
all probability it was shortly after the erection of the first 
church in Sorel. 

This interesting building, of which an illustration ap- 
peared a short time since in this publication, is built of 
rough stone, and is situated about half a mile from the 
River St. Lawrence and from the first manor house of the 
English seigneur of Berthier. It is about thirty-eight feet 
in length and twenty-five feet in width. The walls are two 
feet thick. A spacious belfry, for the size of the church, 



73 

surmounted it. Its diameter was about a third of the length 
of the building; it had eight openings, and terminated 
in an octagonal spire, very little exceeding in height the 
belfry. The whole of this addition to the chapel was about 
the height of the gable wall. The present belfry and steeple 
are substitutes for the original ones, which perished with 
time. 

In the middle of the wall of the opposite end was a very 
tastefully and neatly executed pulpit, surmounted by a 
covering or canopy, and ascended by a straight staircase. 
There were no pews. The members of the family and other 
worshippers of position occupied the floor of the chapel in 
front of the pulpit, seated on chairs. An elevated gallery, 
about ten feet wide, at the other end, was devoted to the 
servants. There were no permanent stairs to ascend, a 
movable set of steps being used. The family burial place 
was under this gallery, the interments being made with the 
heads of the deceased to the wall of the church. There was 
no vault, properly speaking, the whole structure served as 
such also. 

The last seigneur informed me that it is not definitely 
known who have here found their last earthly resting place 
nor the precise locality of interment. Besides the Cuth- 
berts, there are some members of the Antrobus family here 
interred. On the wall is a tasteful, and dignified for that 
time, monument to Alexander Cuthbert, son of Captain 
Cuthbert, who died on the 9th January, 1810, aged 42 years. 
The material of this memorial is wood, the inspection on an 
oval, under a kind of pediment, and below is a text on a 
piece of drapery. The whole is five feet by one foot ten 
inches.* 

The church is a touching memorial of a bereaved hus- 



*This monument served originally to mark the precise spot of the 
burial of him whose name it bears, and was erected on the ground at 
the end of the chapel. 



74 

band to the virtues of a faithful wife, who was removed at 
the early age of 40, after a married life of nineteen years, 
and having borne him three sons and seven daughters. This 
is gracefully recorded on a marble tablet, nearly three feet 
in length, framed in stone, and inserted over the door on the 
opposite side to that by which entrance is now made to the 
church. This door is circular at the top, and taken in con- 
nection with the dedicatory tablet, was evidently at the erec- 
tion o,f the building the principal entrance. It is now per- 
manently closed. 

Mrs. Cuthbert was a Miss Catharine Cairns. 

The inscription on this tablet, which is to be found at 
full length in our issue of 21st February last, records the 
fact that the chapel was the first erected in the province 
since the conquest, and recites the manors held by Captain 
Cuthbert. Besides these he held the fief d'Orvilliers. This 
was in the year 1786, and that following the death of his 
devoted wife. 

The bereaved husband was in course of time laid to rest 
with his wife and daughter, Caroline, in this memorial 
chapel. Besides the Antrobuses and Alexander Cuthbert, 
whom we have noticed, are here interred James, Captain 
Cuthbert's nephew, of about the same age, the only son of 
the Hon. Ross Cuthbert — his monument is handsome — 
Georgina, daughter of Major Ferneret, two daughters of 
the late seigneur Edouard Octavian Cuthbert, and others 
of the family and connections. 

The chapel has been thus used to hold the ashes of the 
Cuthberts to the present generation. There are three small 
windows on each side of the building, which contained the 
usual old-fashioned small panes of glass, six inches by 
seven. The second Honourable James Cuthbert, son of the 
builder of the chapel, removed the frames of the windows 
and closed them with the shutters now seen to prevent evil 
intentioned persons from desecrating the building. He was 



75 

a member of the Roman Catholic communion, and pre- 
sented the bell of St. Andrew's Church to that of Isle du 
Pas, opposite Berthier, where it is still used by our fellow- 
countrymen of his faith. The bell bears no inscription. 

Captain Cuthbert was a model of a lord of the manor. 
He was a man of great force of character. In his days 
the lines between gentle and humble birth were more clearly 
drawn than at present, and the Seigneur of Berthier was 
not one to permit any trespassing on the privileges attached 
to his position, be the aggressor cleric or lay. 

He reverenced religion for its own sake, and knew its 
value. He was the father of his vassals, who were almost 
exclusively of the Roman Catholic faith. No reasonable 
assistance in connection with their communion was ever re- 
fused them. He gladly contributed building material for 
their churches and parsonages. The parish of St. Cuth- 
bert, seven-and-a-half miles from Berthier, received its 
name from the seigneur. It seems to have been specially 
under his care and that of his devoted wife. He presented 
the church with a large oil painting of its patron saint, in 
his episcopal robes, mitred and with crosier in his hand. 
In the corner was the donor's arms. To perpetuate Mrs. 
Cuthbert's interest in this church and the welfare of its 
members, in 1783 Captain Cuthbert imported from London 
a bell for this church. The following legend was cast in 
the metal: 

"Sit nomen Domini benedictum. Je m'appelle Catharine 
jepese — et j'ai ete donne a I'Eglise de St. Cuthbert en 
Canada, par I'honorable Jacques Cuthbert, Ecuier, Seigneur 
du lieu Anno Domini, 1783. Chapman & Mears of Lon- 
don, fecerunt, 1783." 

The height of this bell is two feet seven inches and its 
diameter about the same. What more touching or closer 
connection could be established between members of the 
same great Christian family. 



76 

Thus lived and died James Cuthbert. His house was 
famed for hospitality. He was of as noble birth as any of 
the ancient French noblesse who crossed swords with him on 
the Plains of Abraham and were afterwards his neighbours 
and fellow-labourers in transplating to and developing 
within New France the British constitution. While he was 
firm to his principles and church, he was conspicuous for 
that wise toleration of and respect for the views of others, 
which must be the guiding principles of all who wish for 
the welfare of this province. 

Captain James Cuthbert by his wife Catharine Cairns had 
three surviving sons and six daughters. The eldest, Alexan- 
der, married but died without issue. We have referred to 
his monument in St. Andrew's Church. The second was 
James, the third, Ross Cuthbert. 

Before touching on the careers of these two sons, let us 
glance at the hymeneal futures of the daughters. Descended 
from a military race, five of these ladies married officers, 
and what is more remarkable still, four of them to brother 
officers in the 6oth Regiment, — the old famous Royal 
Americans whose most honourable record, commenced on 
this continent, has been extended with credit to the corps 
and glory to the nation in every part of the world. The 
husbands of these ladies were Captain Clark, Colonel 
Romer, Colonel Robertson, Captain Nickson. Catherine 
married Mr. John Antrobus ; the fifth of the daughters who 
elected a son of Mars was the wife of Major Ferneret. 

James Cuthbert, second seigneur, was born in 1767. He 
received as his share of his father's landed property, Berth- 
ier, Maskinonge and New York, Ross Cuthbert taking d'Au- 
try and d'Orvilliers. James Cuthbert was a worthy repre- 
sentative of his father and his name throughout 
his long career. At the death of Hon. Captain Cuthbert 
he held a commission as Lieutenant in the second battalion 
of the Royal American Regiment, but having been ap- 



77 

pointed his father's executor and being in charge of his es- 
tates, and, in addition, having the charge of his sisters, his 
mihtary and domestic duties clashed. Called to London on 
estate business, and being unable to obtain leave of absence 
from General Prescott, no course lay open but to resign his 
commission. This he accordingly did. 

James Cuthbert even then, from his territorial connec- 
tion, commanded the militia. It appears that up to 1804 
the French Canadian corps still wore the French uniform, 
while their fellow-citizen-soldiers of English origin were 
habited in the British colours. It is obvious that the effect 
of such distinction would be to keep the races apart by fos- 
tering uncalled for memories of a past regime, when the 
interest of the country lay in forgetting such and forming a 
united body under the new flag. Sir Robert Shore Milnes, 
the Lieutenant Governor in 1804, saw the evil results thus 
created and perpetuated and expressed his anxiety to abolish 
this difference. James Cuthbert, an English seigneur in a 
French Canadian section of country, of wide views, like his 
father, was not slow in realizing the advantage to the state 
to be obtained by abolishing this uncalled for and dangerous 
difference, and was the first to bring the division under his 
command to petition the Lieutenant-Governor to permit 
them to assume the national colours.

TALMAN FAMILY. 

Sir Horace Walpole, in his "Anecdotes of Painting," 
says: "William Talman was born at West Larington in 
Wiltshire, where he had an estate; was comptroller of the 
works in the reign of King William. * * * He was 
an architect employed in considerable works. In 1671 he 
built Thoresby House in Nottinghamshire, burnt a few 
years ago; Dryham House in Gloucestershire, in 1698, 
Swallowfield in Berks (Diary of Henry, Earl of Clarendon, 
for whom it was built), and Chatsworth; the elegance and 
lightness of the latter front do great honor to the artist — 
the other sides are equally beautiful. The flight of steps by 
which you ascend from the hall to the apartments was 
thought noble enough by Kent to be borrowed for Holkham. 
His son, John Talman, resided much in Italy ; made a large 
collection of prints and drawings, particularly of churches 
and altars, many of which were done by himself. * * ♦ 



♦From The Dominion, Illustrated, ist Aug., 1891. 



80 

A few of his drawings are in the library of the Antiquarian 
Society." 

The Parish Register, of West Larington, Wiltshire, 
shows that ^'WilHam Talman, y* son of Christopher Tal- 
man and Joana, his wife, was bap* Apl 5, 1663." The rec- 
tor of West Larington writes that, owing to laxity in re- 
ligious matters at the time, he thinks William, the architect, 
was about thirteen years old when he was baptized. He 
bought Felmingham manor, otherwise Felmingham Hall, 
about 1700, and in 171 1 there is a petition of his to the 
Lord High Treasurer, praying permission to surrender his 
patent as Queen's waiter in her Majesty's customs, to his 
brother-in-law, James Tate, "who was fully qualified." 
This entry is minuted thus: ''28 August, 171 1. The oath 
must first be taken that no money or other consideration is 
given or promised to Mr. Talman." 

William Talman's will is recorded in Register Shaller, fo. 
44, Prerog. Court, Canterbury, 1720, by which it appears 
that he died at Felmingham Hall, Norfolk county. He men- 
tions his wife, Hannah, and children : John, to whom he be- 
queathed his collection of prints, drawings and books for his 
life, £1,500, and his chambers in Gray's Inn; Hannah, who 
married John Green, Jr. ; James, who married Elizabeth 
(buried at Felmingham in 1730, aged 25 — tombstone) ^ and 
Henry, Mr. J. S. Moore, of Richmond, who is a lineal 
descendant of the last-named writes: "The following is a 
copy of the inscription on the tomb, covered by a black 
marble slab, at the old church at Felmingham Hall, Norfolk 
county, England: 'Here Rests the bodies of William Tal- 
man, of Felmingham, Esq., who died Nov. 22, 1719, aged 
69 years, and of Hannah his wife, who died Jan'y 4, 1729, 
aged 66 years.' I have also the inscriptions of two or three 
others of the family, one in Latin. Each one of the tomb- 
stones has a quaint monogram or device on it, which I would 
like to send you, but I am no draftsman. It is supposed the 



81 

Talmans came over with William the Conqueror. (The 
shield of the family coat-of-arms is Norman, and the device 
on it indicates that the bearer was a crusader.)" The rec- 
ords of Norfolk county, England, state that ''John Talman, 
of Grimstone parish in Norfolk, conveyed a parcel of land 
for charity by deed in 1394." The name also occurs in 
documents conveying sales of land in the 47th and 48th of 
Edward III., that is, in 1373, also in the 9th of Richard 
II., that is, in 1385, in Grimeston and adjoining parishes. 

In Mobray's "Travels," occurs the following : 

''By letters on board the 'Medway' in the East Indies, 
we have an account of the death of Mr. John Talman, only 
son of the late John Talman, Esq., famous for the best col- 
lections of prints, drawings, and particularly church orna- 
ments, of any private gentleman in England, and grandson 
to William Talman, Esq., comptroller of all his Majesty's 
Buildings and Gardens in the reign of King William. He 
was a young gentleman of a sweet temper and disposition, 
and much lamented by all his friends and acquaintances. 
His estate, which is considerable, descends to his two sis- 
ters." 

These two sisters were Frances Ann, and Mary, whose 
names are in Burke's Peerage. This John, the grandson of 
William (the architect), was never married. At Hinx- 
worth, near Baldock, county Hertford, is a tomb to another 
John Talman, who was likewise a great traveler and "col- 
lector of curious paintings and drawings," who died 
November 3, 1726, aged forty years. His wife was 
Frances, daughter of John Cockayne, "of this par- 
ish, gent., who died March 22, 1732." Mr. Moore, 
who has made extensive researches in old wills and 
other records in England, writes that this John Talman was 
descended from Rev. John Talman, vicar of Salisbury 
Cathedral, who was first cousin of William, the architect. 

Henry Talman, of New Kent county, Virginia, had 
among his papers the original will of William Talman, the 



82 

architect, and it was in existence shortly before the war, as 
proved by depositions sent to England. He was son of 
the architect, resided in St. Peter's parish, New Kent county, 
but spent much of his time on the sea as captain and owner 
of the ship ''Vigo," running between Bristol and Virginia. 
Mr. Moore has in his possession a gold sleeve-button once 
worn by Capt. Henry Talman, and a quaint round walnut 
dining-table brought over in his ship, also his autograph to 
a bill of lading ior goods shipped from Bristol in i737-'38, 
to Wm. Cabell, to be discharged at Shockoe Warehouse on 
James River. Mr. Moore writes that Capt. Henry Talman 
married Ann Elizabeth Ballard, and died in London in 1775. 
He adds: "Capt. Henry Talman had three children,^ one 
son, William, who was my grandmother's grandfather, and 
the ancestor of the Talmans now living in Virginia, and 
who married Elizabeth Hewlett ; he had also two daughters, 
one married Hewlett, the other Bacon (John). William the 
son of Henry, had six children who lived to maturity: 
Nancy was my grandmother's mother, and married Robert 
Pollard, of New Kent county; Austin lived and died in 
Richmond; John lived and died at the old residence of his 
grandfather "Talmans" in New Kent county, and their des- 
cendants are still among us ; Patsy married Boolington, their 
heirs are still in Virginia ; James was a revolutionary soldier, 
and died, or was killed at Valley Forge ; Hannah, the sixth

child, married a Turpin and moved to Savannah, Ga., and 
their descendants are still there. The coat-of-arms and 
family portraits in the division fell to Hannah, and were car- 
ried to Georgia as her lares, manes, and penates, and were 
destroyed by fire during the late war. The coat-of-arms 
was on parchment, and was framed. A copy was found a 
few years ago by one of the family in Georgia, a book-plate 
in a volume of Bertram's Travels: a Norman shield, the 
crest an arm in armor embowed, wielding a battle-axe. The 
vertical lines on the shield are crimson ; on the chevron are 
three round silver coins (Byzantian), indicating that the 
bearer was a Crusader ; above the chevron, on each side, are 
two daggers or swords, hilts up, points downward; at the 
base of the shield is also a sword, hilt down, point upward ; 
the Norman shield indicates its antiquity and early origin; 
the motto is "In Fide et in Bella Fortis" — Faithful in 
friendship, strong in war! This crest, and motto, and 
shield, were not registered at the College of Arms in Lon- 
don. Sir Albert W. Woods, Rouge Dragon, says, in a let- 
ter to the writer, that many of the gentry never registered 
or recorded their coats-of-arms. Dr. W. T. Turpin, of 
Georgia, who was descended from Hannah Talman, had 
this coat-of-arms painted on his carriage doors. I have also 
a copy of it on an old letter-head."

LUCIUS CUTHBERT DEAD.* 

After Short Illness the Venerable Minister Passed 
Away on Tuesday Afternoon. 

The entire community was saddened when it was learned 
on Tuesday afternoon that Dr. Lucius Cuthbert had closed 
his eyes in eternal sleep. His death occurred about 1.30 
o'clock and was as peaceful as was his life. During the 

♦The Aiken Journal (S. C), January 19, 1906, 



84 

morning he was apparently improving and for a while sat 
up and conversed with the members of his family and 
friends, and shortly after noon retired as was his custom 
to sleep awhile before dinner. When, about thirty minutes 
later his good and faithful wife went to wake him, she 
found that he was dead. In his sleep he had passed away. 
The acute attack of indigestion which the doctor suffered 
about ten days ago had affected his heart and the physicians 
who attended him expected that he would die in just such 
a manner. The doctor himself, though he was apparently 
improving, seemed to feel that the end was near and care- 
fully arranged all his earthful affairs, even selecting those 
of his friends who should act as pallbearers at his funeral. 

Dr. Cuthbert was a son of Lucius Cuthbert and Charlotte 
Fuller, of Beaufort, S. C, and was born in that city in 1833. 
He was a graduate of South Carolina College, and of Prince- 
ton Theological Seminary. When he was 21 years old his 
health was not very good and he moved to Aiken in May, 
1854. In this same year he was ordained to the ministry by 
the Rev. Dr. Kendrick, in the Aiken Baptist church, and for 
quite a number of years succeeding this, he served this 
church as pastor. 

In 1856 he married Miss Susan Margaret Mikell, of 
Edisto Island. Just after the war he was called to the Cita- 
del Square Baptist church in Charleston and there served 
for two or three years, when, his health failing, he was com- 
pelled to return to Aiken. He again became pastor of the 
Aiken church, serving in connection therewith the churches 
at Williston, Elko and several smaller churches. When he 
first became pastor of the Aiken church, the building was a 
very old one and was deemed unsafe. Dr. Cuthbert worked 
zealously to secure funds to erect a new building and his 
efforts were crowned with success. Again in the seventies 
when the building was burned. Dr. Cuthbert assisted Dr. 
Browne, who was pastor at that time, in the work of re- 



85 

building the church which now stands. For several years 
Dr. Cuthbert served the First Baptist Church in Charleston. 
He was a most eloquent preacher, in fact, was considered by 
many to be the best pulpit orator in the South. He was 
many times called to serve some of the large churches in Bal- 
timore and other large cities, but was unable to accept owing 
to his health, which necessitated his residence in Aiken. He 
served the Aiken church at three different periods during 
his ministry of half a century. 

The funeral services were held at the Baptist church 
Wednesday afternoon. Seldom has such a concourse of 
people gathered in Aiken to pay respect to the dead. Of 
all creeds and from all the walks of life came the friends 
of the deceased to participate in the last sad rites. 

The active pall-bearers were : Messrs. D. S. Henderson, 
C. K. Henderson, J. U. Rives, Dr. B. H. Teague, Dr. D. H. 
Quattlebaum, and Mr. J. T. Shuler. The honorary pall- 
bearers were: Messrs J. F. Seigler, Jos. Brunson, G. C. 
Moseley, E. H. Busch, W. M. Jordan, A. J. Burckhalter, 
Louis Staubes, and Jesse Moseley of Charleston. 

The Revs. T. W. Clift, W. J. Snyder, F. D. Jones, J. C. 
Browne and P. J. McLean participated in the conduct of the 
ceremonies. Particularly touching were the remarks of the 
Rev. J. C. Browne, who had been the friend and comrade 
of the deceased for many years. He stated that twenty 
years had passed since he first met Dr. Cuthbert, and that 
each year he had learned to love him more and more. That 
Dr. Cuthbert had been pastor of the Aiken Baptist church 
at three different periods, and during the last two periods 
had been his pastor. That Dr. Cuthbert possessed a most 
sympathetic nature and easily made friends. Referring to 
his oratorical powers, he told of how he had often been 
thrilled by his eloquent sermons, and then he feelingly spoke 
of his piety, of his child-like faith and his sympathy for 
all who were troubled. With tears in his eyes the venerable 



preacher said : "And when I think of the Hfe through which 
we have traveled together and of the good he has done, I can 
hardly repress the exclamation *My father, my father! The 
chariot of Israel and the horsemen thereof.' A great and 
good man is gone, after laboring here and preaching the 
glorious Gospel of the Son of God for half a century. I 
thank God for such a life and the good influence it exercised 
upon the lives of others." 

Rev. P. J. McLean characterized Dr. Cuthbert as a man 
of God and a man of prayer. He told of how when he first 
came to Aiken Dr. Cuthbert met him at the depot and wel- 
comed him to the city, and of how he had since that time 
enjoyed the friendship and fellowship of this good and noble 
man. He remarked on the similarity in appearance be- 
tween Dr. Cuthbert and Premier Gladstone, and eloquently 
pictured Dr. Cuthbert as he would on Sundays arise and 
seemingly gather all the wants of his fellow-beings and be- 
seech God to grant them. He referred to the number of 
homes that would be lonesome now that the Doctor had 
passed away, and the number of men who would miss the 
clasp of the hand that was now closed in death. "No more 
will he be seen upon the streets because today he walks the 
streets of God's new city." He told of how during the Doc- 
tor's last illness he had been impressed by the number of 
negroes who daily inquired as to his condition, inquired be- 
cause they knew that the Doctor loved them ; in the fullness 
of his good heart, loved both black and white. 

Dr. Plunkett, of Augusta, was expected to be present and 
take part in the services, but was unavoidably detained. 

At the cemetery the services were concluded and the body 
laid to rest beneath a bank of beautiful flowers, the gifts of 
many friends. 

Among the relatives who came to attend the funeral ser- 
vices were Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Roach, Mr. J. Cuth- 
bert Roach and Miss Fannie Cuthbert Roach, of Charles- 



87 

ton ; Mr. Townsend Mikell, of Edisto Island ; Dr. Pinckney 
Mikell, of Columbia; Mrs. Duncan Robertson and Mr. and 
Mrs. Jesse Moseley, of Charleston. 

LUCIUS CUTHBERT, D. D. 

The Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, D. D., died at his home in 
Aiken yesterday after a brief illness ; but what we call death 
was to him only the beginning of life everlasting. One of 
his last messages from the pulpit was delivered at the First 
Baptist church, in this city, about three weeks ago. It was 
filled with hope and love and consolation for his faithful 
people, to whom he had ministered for years, and with unut- 
terable longing for the eternal existence into which he has 
entered. The faith of Peter and the ever patient and for- 
giving eyes of the Master was the theme of his discourse. 
He preached as he had seldom preached before, and as if 
he were conscious that in a little while he would reach the 
end of his journey and lie down to rest forever. Those 
who heard him marvelled at his preaching ; at the clearness 
of his thought, and the irresistible power of his eloquence. 
It was an old man, for fifty years a minister of the Christian 
religion, pleading with his people to be reconciled to God 
and at the end praying that upon them and the church which 
he loved with all his heart, the love and mercy and grace of 
God might abide until the whole of the ransomed host of 
God's elect had crossed over into the heavenly country. 

Dr. Cuthbert was a charming man, eminent for his learn- 
ing and piety, and true to every obligation of the highest 
and purest citizenship. He was trained in theology at 
Princeton and was a preacher of uncommon gifts. He was 
a great favorite with the young people and much respected 
by all who knew him. His manners were delightful and he 
always had a good word for every one. He believed that 
religion ought to make men happy, that there is something 
good in every situation, that the gospel of dark despair, and 



that the pleasant things of earth are to be regarded as only 
a foretaste of the joys of Heaven. Having lived well and 
uprightly, he lay down at the last and passed on into the 
other life, his eyes having seen by faith something of the 
glory which has now been revealed unto him.* 

POTTER.

Crest: a seahorse naiant proper. 
Motto: Pax et Veritas. 

The Potters of Mount Potter, an Irish family, was repre- 
sented in America by John Potter, born April 12, 1675, at 
Ballymoran, County Down, Ireland, at the residence of his 
grandfather. Sir John Stewart of Ballymoran. 

He was the son of James Potter and Catharine Stewart, 
daughter of Sir John Stewart, of Ballymoran, and went to 
Charleston, South Carolina, Dec. 15, 1784. 

John Potter married Catharine Fuller, b. 1770, of Beau- 
fort, S. C, on August 22, 1 791, daughter of fCol. Thomas 
Fuller by his wife, Catharine Foley, whom he married in 

1773. 

Colonel Thomas Fuller was the son of Richard Fuller and 
Mary Drayton, daughter of |Thomas Drayton and Anne

fOn Sunday the 7th Thomas Fuller, Esq., of St, Andrew's Parish, 
was married at Ashley Ferry to Mrs. Elizabeth Miles, relict of Mr. 
Edward Miles (Monday, Sept. 15, 1766). She died 1769. 

fLast Thursday, Thomas Foley, Esq., Commander of his Majesty's 
Ship, the Escorte, was married to Miss Catharine Mellichamp, a 
daughter of Mr. Thomas Mellichamp, who made such useful discoveries 
a few years ago, in the manufacturing of indigo.

$The first Thomas Drayton went from Barbadoes and settled en 
Cape Fear River, North Carolina, in 1679, and about 1680 removed to 
South Carolina. He married Ann Cattell, daughter of Stephen Fox, 
and had : 

I. Mary Drayton, married Richard Fuller.

tice of Georgia, and Sarah, daughter of Dr.

CUTHBERTS OF PHILADELPHIA. 

The first ancestor of this branch of Cuthbert was John 
Cuthbert, who went to Pennsylvania from Castle Hill, Inver- 
ness, Scotland, in 171 5. He brought with him his son, 
Thomas Cuthbert, a boy of two years of age, who was 
born in 171 3, at Castle Hill, Inverness, Scotland, and died 
in Philadelphia, January 11, 1781, and was buried in Christ 
Church cemetery. This Thomas Cuthbert was a man of 
prominence, and was successively vestryman and warden of 
Christ Church and on committee to revise the book of 
common prayer in 1776. 

He married in 1741 Ann Wilkinson, b. 1720, daughter 
of Anthony Wilkinson, son of Gabriel Wilkinson, who came 
from England in 1660. The issue of this marriage was 
Anthony Cuthbert, b. Philadelphia, March 4, 1751, who 
was Captain of Sixth Company of Philadelphia, and as 
Lieutenant commanded the Delaware at Trenton, and was 
present at battle of Princeton. Captain Anthony Cuthbert 
married, ist, Sarah Dixon and had a daughter, who mar- 
ried a Perceval. He married, 2d, December 19, 1799, a 
daughter of Joseph Ogden, son of David Ogden, of Lon- 
don, England, who came to America with William Penn. 

There was another branch of Cuthbert closely connected 
with this line, who moved from Inverness, Scotland, to 
London, England, and who for a long time occupied a good 



96 

position near London. This branch moved to North Caro- 
lina and one of the line went to Georgia, the other moving 
to Philadelphia, Pa. 

Captain Anthony Cuthbert and Miss Ogden had beside 
others : 

Samuel Cuthbert married 2nd Eugenia B. Jones, daugh- 
ter of Charles G. Jones (of the ancient family of Johns, of 
New York), who married Mary Persiana Mcintosh, daugh- 
ter of Major Lachlan Mcintosh, of Georgia, son of Col. 
William Mcintosh, eldest son of John More Mcintosh, of 
the Borlum branch of the great Mcintosh family. 

Eugenia B. Jones and Samuel Cuthbert had issue: 
I. Charles Mcintosh Cuthbert, m. Lilly D. Morgan. 
II. George Cuthbert. 

III. Anne Mcintosh Cuthbert, m. Dr. John Rothwell.

3. Charles Morgan Cuthbert. 

Anne Mcintosh Cuthbert and Dr. John D. Rothwell had :

Note on Heyward, Page 56. — It would appear that Mrs. George C. 
Heyward, nee Margaret Doar, descends also, besides those given from 
another family of Smith, for we gather the following from the S. C. 
Historical and Genealogical Magazine: William Smith, an early set- 
tler in South Carolina, married about 1690 Elizabeth Schenkingh, 
daughter of Bernard Schenkingh, Esq., Sheriff of Berkley, and a Pro- 
prietor's Deputy in the Grand Council (a highly honorable position). 
William Smith and Elizabeth Schenkingh had, besides others, William 
Smith, who married Elizabeth Williamson and had, besides others, 
Margaret Smith, who married Thomas Evance. 

Note, Page 42. — Mrs. Obadiah Bruen Brown (wife of Rev. Obadiah 
Brown) was Mrs. Jackson, who was born Elizabeth Reilly.
